The city council and county commits
sioners are having lots of hard work
this week in the equalization business.
They are paying no attention to the
decision of Judge Mcconnell, to the eff
feet that returns OF the assessor cannot
be reduced. The city council has been
in session three days, and finally upon
petition of large number of property
owners reduced the assessment on i'm
proved real estate just so per cent
from the returns of the assessor. This
is done by the city in self defense, it
being claimed that even with SO psr
cent. reduction the city would be paying
fully ne-fourth more county tax than
the ratio of assessment of the balance
of the county would warrant. The re-
tYrns from the township assessors are
not coming up to the standard expect
ed, and the city will naturally have to
drop down to level with the county
assessment. This will make vast diff
ference in the aggregate assessed valu-
alton of the city, and will work against
us in any improvement schemes that
are liable to come pin the future. The
county commissioners are busy equalisz.
ing, also, and it is reported they will
raj Sc the valuation to the original re-
turns of Mr.. Cuppett. tits also rumors
ed that there is likelihood of putting
a 80 per cent. raise on top Of this. Ev-
en- should the 50 per cent. raise be
adopted by the commissioners there
will likely be legal furry between the

board adjourning until tonight when
the balance of the work will be COM
pleted Prof B. II. Perkins, of Rock
Rapids, will assume the duties of prin-
cipal, and Mrs O. n. Russell and Miss
Iona DruSe were retained in their re-
spectlve departments. 1t is also ex-
pected that Miss Anna Kennedy will
be retained, and that a position will be
rendered Miss Mona Miller. This ad-
ditional assistance is necessary on ac
count of a probable increase in attend
ance and the already overcrOWded con-
dition of the various departments. The
engagement of Prof. Perkins will give
general and unquestioned satisfaction
in Canton. He was formerly principal
in the Beloit schools, and for the past
two years has widened his reputation
as popular educator while county su-
perintendent of Lyon county, Iowa.
The professor will assume his duties
with the opening of the fall term, and
Mrs. Perkins will finish the term as
superintendent of Lyon county. The
family will move here on the first of
January, and will be a welcome ad-
dition to Canton.

The object of this convention 10 provide for
thorough and aud vigorous canvass of South Da-
kots before the next election, for the purpose of
bringing ont as strong vote as possible in favor
of DIVISION and to transact such other business as
to the convention may seem proper.
The qualifications for voting at the primary and
county meetings shall be that the persons vot-
Ing must be known, unqualified ana thorough
friends of division; and all fri ends of division r
respective OF party, are invited to participate.
This conference invites the serious attention Of
the people of Dakota to the fact that this express
sion Of the will of the people of Dakota upon this
grave and important question will probably be de-
cisve in its results. 1t is thought by many we'll
advised persons that the next congress will seri-
ously take up the question of the division and ad-
mission of Dakota.
A decided and unmstakable expression Of a
large majority of the people of Dakota, whose
right is to decide this matter, in favor of divis-
ion, will doubtless exercise strong and immedi-
ate influence upon the action of congress.
Therefore we most respectfully call upon all
friends of division to unite both in ding strong
delegations from each county to the proposed con
vention. and also in polling the largest possible
vote In the county in favor Of division.
This is a critical moment in the fortunes of Da-
kots. Let her people be united and and earnest.
BY ORDER OF COMMITTEE.

The friends of division in Lincoln
county will gather at the court house in
Canton at o'clock this afternoon for
the purpose of selecting sixteen dele
gates to attend the convention at HUI
ron next Wednesday. The friends of
division are wide awake throughout
the territory, and will poll an over
whelming majority in favor of the is
sue. Those opposed to two states claim
they will not vote at the coming cleo
ton, but will stay at home in a body
and thus show lack of interest in the
issue on the part of the people of Dako-
ia. But the one-state people constitute
small factor in Dakota affairs, and if
such are their ideas of minority rule let
them HE themselves away to their
homes, and sulk. The good people Of
Lincoln county are ready for the vote,
and will make noble charge on the Sd
of November. And in the convention
this afternoon those who attend may
feel assured that the people are with
them.

The new Canton City School district
board organized last Tuesday evening
by the election OF James Lewis for pres
ident and the reelection Of T. 7.
Thompson for clerk and Chas E. GOetZ
treasurer. The affairs of the district,
as the annual report will show, are in
splendid condition. With a balance of
81, 500 on hand, and an Indebtedness of
less than $4,000 where the assessed val
uation is nearly 100000, the people may
well be satisfied with their school
finances. The census recently taken by
VIM. M. Cuppett shows school popu-
lation of 295 children between the ages
of five and twenty years. The clerk,

kristofer Jansen, of Minneapolis, the
celebrated Scandinavian orator, finish
ed last evening at Bedford Hall what
was considered very interesting series
of lectures. Mr.. Jansen, in his own
language, is considered one of the most
fluent takers and thoroughly educated
men in the whole country, and the insult
of Mr.. Nash, of the News, that none
but drunkarts and saloonkeepers
would go to hear him, is ill>timed in the
extreme. Mr.. Jansen is without doubt
a thorough gentleman, and besides be-
ing completely temperate is a man of
thrice the ability of those who i'll an I'M

traduce him. The expression is an in
suit to Mr.. Jansen and to the entire
Scandinavian pOpulace.

FIRST OF ALL,

FIRST OF ALL,
the old cannon ushered in the typical
day fora celebration. From the rising
of the sun to the position of the moon
overhead, it was nothing but day of
excellent beauty and comfort. The
dust was knocked into oblivion by the
rains the day before, and a cool, balmy
breeze toated from the north. In other
words, Monday was the pink of per-
fection. Gunner Geo. T. Rea opened
the festival by firing the cannon sew
eral times before breakfast-about 4
o'clock. A Shanghai rooster can make
enough noise in the early morn, but
when bombs, cannon crackers and fresh
morning yelps get in their work, the
Shanghai is shorn of his glory. Who in
America can peacefully slumber when
whole artilleries and batteries are max
ing things howl? The patriot
awakens with il start, but listens
to the combustion with as much pleas
ure as lovers of music will listen to
sparkling strains of radiant pleasure.
People who generally arise late always
make it point to get up early on this
day, attired in Sunday clothes, and 60
forth to pull the tail feathers all out of
the American eagle before the day is
through with.
From to 10 o'clock the teams from
tile country and surrounding towns
wore continually pouring in, And
what crowd. Everybody was here
with their friends and relatives. BY 10
o'clock, just before the procession, the
streets presented gala appearance.
Flags were flying, bands were playing,
cannons were booming, firecrackers
were popping and the celebration was
in full blast. . ...-... ....
